Ingredients

• 3 Ice cold beers
• 1/3 C Bread crumbs unseasoned
• 1/2 C Whole Milk - Even better homemade buttermilk. Yeah be fancy
• 2 tbls EVOO + 1 extra for frying
• 1 Medium onion, yellow, white, Vidalia, It don't much matter
• 1 lb ground beef 80 or 85%
• 1 lb ground pork - plain
• 2 eggs large
• 1/4 bunch parsley chopped fine
• 3 cloves garlic - minced
• 2 tsp kosher salt or sea salt more if using pink salt
• 1 tsp ground mixed or black pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or more if you hate your butt hole
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbls fresh grated parmesan cheese. Really, buy a brick. Don't use the bottled crap.

Directions

1. - Open beer 1 – Drink half reserve remaining half

2. Take meat out of fridge and let it warm up a bit.

3. Soak the bread crumbs in the milk for about 20 mins. Stir while pouring in the milk. Not too much to make mush though.

4. - Heat EVOO 2 tbls over medium high heat

5. - Drink remaining beer. Open second

6. - Cook the onions until translucent. You’re trying to get the liquid out here so cook em, but don’t caramelize.

7. - Have some more beer

8. - Mix beef & pork in bowl until combined and fat is emulsified. This is why we warmed it up a bit.

9. - Mix in remaining ingredients until combined

10. Wash hands and drink the rest of beer 2. Open beer 3.

11. - Cover the meat mixture and place in a fridge for 1 hr.

12. - If you’re not done with beer 3 by now, try harder.

13. - Using wet hands. Just moist we aren’t throwing water around here. Make balls, any size you want. They just need to be even.

14. - Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom pan over medium to high heat.

15. - Add the other tbls of EVOO

16. - Spread oil and add balls, turn carefully, until browned each side and cooked through. The bigger your balls the harder they will be to handle…keep that in mind.

17. - At this point you can place them on a plate and cover with foil to add to your pasta later or if you’ve already made sauce and had it simmering add your balls and make it a meaty ball swimming pool.
